CHICAGO, December 18, 2007 - Aladdin Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN), an information security leader specializing in authentication, software DRM and content security, today announced that its Aladdin HASP HL for Mac software anti-piracy and licensing USB key solution supports Mac OSĀ® X Leopard. Mar 30, 2009 If you have hasp driver loaded on the Mac, uninstall them. Easiest way is to just use the installer to remove them. I have not found a way to unload them once they are loaded. In my case I see that if Mac based USB driver gets the hasp at any point on a specific USB.

Hardware KeyA Hardware Key (HASP), also called a 'dongle', is a software copy protection device that plugs into the USB port of the computer. Upon startup, the application looks for the key and will run only if the key contains the appropriate code. Hardware keys are very effective copy protection devices, because they cannot be duplicated by the user.PC-Progress sends the hardware key to customers via a priority mail, with a possibility of tracking the shipment on the internet. In some cases (e.g., if it is possible to insure the shipment for the relevant amount), we send a completely programmed HASP, which is ready to be used, it only needs to be plugged into a USB port (see Option A below). In other cases, we send the HASP, which requires a one-time activation performed by a customer (see Option B below). In any case, we expect an e-mail from a customer confirming the receipt of the hardware key and a successfull installation of Hydrus.

Advantages of HASP. Proven solutions by SafeNet, verified by hundreds of thousands of installations and users. No activation of the software (e.g., HYDRUS) is needed. Activation of the program brings some disadvantages, such as that the program can be activated only on the allowed number of computers and the activation is always time-limited (up to 1 year) and needs to be repeatedly renewed. Under certain circumstances, the activation code may not be immediately available and users have to wait till they get it (e.g., activation by e-mail). The hardware key (dongle) gives users assurance that the program can be easily installed and used, for example, on a new computer.
The program (e.g., HYDRUS) can be used on multiple computers (e.g., desktop and laptop) only by transferring a small USB key. Easier and safer installation of a network version. The network installation using a software key (activation) is somewhat more complicated and some network administrators have complained about its lack of flexibility. The use of HASP eliminates these problems.Installation InstructionsWhen purchasing a new HYDRUS license with HASP, the customer usually receives a fully functional HASP by post. Then it is necessary to install HYDRUS according to point A below. However, under certain circumstances, you can receive HASP which requires a one-time activation. You will be informed about this fact in advance by our customer support and then you can follow point B.
It may also happen that you have already had a HYDRUS license with HASP and you have purchased its upgrade. Then it is necessary to activate a new license in your HASP only once, according to point C. Option A - Fully functional HASP. We recommend to install Hydrus before installing HASP (i.e. Before plugging it into a USB port). Login into and download the latest HYDRUS installation program.
You can find all installation programs on the page. The HYDRUS installation program is a self-extracting file, created in InstallShield (e.g., Hydrus3D2.02.0670.exe).
Once you double-click on it, it will automatically unpack into a temporary directory and start running Setup. Follow the instructions provided by SetUp. The installation program will ask you for destination directories for the HYDRUS program files and data files (HYDRUS projects and settings).

Could the guest just not have a filter correctly configured yet (or over-configured), or the required restarts not completed yet? Maybe something in the.vbox file or the log would help?
(Wouldn't know what to look for myself; better heads than mine could see something.).
